G2 Testing - gconf Druid

[Volker Englisch]

I tested the gconf druid tonight and here are my 
comments/suggestions/findings:

When I start gnucash a message window comes up (Cannot find default 
values).  The Help button is highlighted by default but there is no help 
when pressed (maybe I need to install documentation files separately?).

On the window titled "Choose Method" the focus sometimes disappears when 
cycling through the options with the TAB key.
    "Update Search Path" --> blank --> blank --> Cancel --> Back -->
       Forward --> blank --> "Update Search Path" --> ...

Everything works when the "Update Search Path" option is selected.
However, when selecting the option "I'll do it myself" on the following 
window the last window gives the instructions to edit the .gconf.path 
file and restart the gconf backend.  There is no mention on how to 
restart the gconf backend.  I suggest to list the command
   gconftool-2 --shutdown
here.  Or maybe better let the user know on the previous window ("Update 
Path") that the gconf backend will need to be restarted if the 
.gconf.path file got modified.  With that information users might rather 
want gnucash to do this for them.

When the option "Install into home directory" is selected the option
"Do it for me" on the next window fails.  So does the "I'll do it 
myself" since the shell script
   update-gnucash-gconf
is not in the default search path.

Note:  I have gnucash installed under /opt/gnucash2

For the "I'll do it myself" option the same is true as above.  The user 
has to restart the gconf backend without additional information on how 
to do this.
